Testimonials

"Fantastic Sams has been great for me. I wouldn’t go back and change it for the world. I wish I had done it five years earlier. I tell my salon managers that one of the reasonswe’ve been so successful is that we have a balance. My stylists come at the business from a technical side, and I come at it from a customer’s side and from having a background in accounting. I feel like I know the level of customer service people want in salons because I’ve been a customer. Between us we’ve got it all covered."LaRonda Hunter

"I think it's recession-proof. Everybody needs haircuts. We offer family hair care at a mid-range price point. We are not going after the high-income folks, but I have stylists I'd put up against anybody -- stylists who are very skilled and talented, as well as some who are young and whom we are developing. We offer a great value at a reasonable price. When you can get an adult haircut and shampoo for $14.95, that's a pretty good thing in this market. "Jerry Dalzell

"I never thought I'd own a hair salon. It was the furthest thing from my mind. But it made total sense, especially from an affordability standpoint. As it turned out, I didn't really need to have experience in the hair and beauty field. It probably would have helped me if I had, but it wasn't necessary."Earl Wise

"I think sometimes previous salon experience can be a hindrance. Starting fresh helps you not have a paradigm in your head that holds you back. Fantastic Sams gives you everything you need to be successful. You are the background support system for the business -- you're not the one doing the haircuts. "Rick Tonet
Pittsburgh, PA

"We came to the conclusion that our business consisted mainly of doing two things. The first thing is taking care of guests -- doing what they want, when they want it, the way they want it. The second thing is providing good jobs for some really great folks who work for us. That's the business. Once we realized those two basic elements, it took the pressure off. It makes things a lot simpler to think in those terms. You ask of just about everything you do, "How is this going to either take care of my employees or my guests?"Richard Upson

"Here in California we have a good brand. Fantastic Sams is known to be a full-service company that provides high-quality service at an affordable price. In terms of the experience, it's like the difference between shopping at Walmart or Target and shopping at Macy's. The difference in quality and style is clear, and the value proposition is totally different. We are more expensive than pure hair-cutting franchises, but we offer a much better cut -- one that is comparable to a much more expensive salon."Marilyn Tokatly

"Good operations make a big difference. I took over a salon in October that was struggling under a previous owner. I closed it for remodeling, re-opened it and within four months was at break-even. I think, on average, you should be able to do it in four to six months in a good location. One of the important things is to follow the model. Entrepreneurs tend to want to do it their own way -- when I started, even though I said I wanted to follow a system, I often did my own thing. It slowed me down. My advice: Do what corporate tells you to do!"Michael Kuryllo
